Hello, the reason for my email is that just this past Monday, November 25 of 2013 the sunroof to my 2007 Cadillac Srx exploded while driving on the freeway with no explanation. This happened around 8pm on a cold and drizzly night. Big chunks of glass fell all over my husband and I leaving us with minor scratches, fortunately no one was severely hurt. The following morning of the incident I went online and came across several identical incidents with the same make and model of car, as well as others. We took the liberty of contacting gm corporate headquarters as it seems this may possibly be a factory defect. The vehicle is currently at the dealer ship but as of right now there has not been much help, much less an explanation. My biggest concern is the safety of the vehicle being that I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and this is our only vehicle. How safe will this be for my family? I do not feel comfortable and I am not at ease that I have not heard from the local Cadillac dealership where all I have heard from them is an issue of how many miles the car has at the present time and not the fact that this was a life or death situation. The purpose of this is to seek out any kind of help, information, or advice as to what we can do to have this situation resolved. Thank you so much for your time and hope to hear from you soon.

It was a very pleasant Friday, October 4, 2013 at approximately 4pm. My sister and I were headed to petersburg, va from charlotte, nc. With only 50 miles to go on 85n we both heard what sounded like an extremely loud and close gun shot. I was driving and she was sleeping. It woke her up and scarred both of us to death. Not knowing what just happened she started looking around. The next thing we heard was glass breaking and falling on to the sunroof liner of the car. Luckily we were only a mile from a rest area. I pulled over, got out of the car, opened the back door to stand on the inside to be able to see on top and was in total shock at what I saw. One section of my sunroof had been broken. My car has a panoramic sunroof with two separate panels. The back panel was shattered into millions of tiny fragments. The glass continued to break and fall on to the liner. Small pieces managed to get through onto the back seat. I did the best I could in cleaning up the pieces. I called a state trooper and made a report, I called my insurance company and also onstar. I spent the weekend with no sunroof because the Cadillac service dept in va is not open on the weekend. It was a horrible experience being that I purchased my car on Tuesday and this happened on Friday. It's been a week and a half since I dropped my car off to be repaired and I can finally pick it up on tomorrow. I won't complain because it could have been worse, I am truly blessed.

I was driving on TX highway146 on 11/21/2012, the morning before thanksgiving, the sun-roof suddenly exploded; it was as loud as a gun shot if not louder, the sound startled me that I veered out of my lane; luckily, there was no one else on the road. Even though I was shocked, no one was hurt. I don't think it is an isolated incident but Cadillac is not going to do anything about this unsafe sunroof.

While parked the car's sunroof exploded, showering my son and I in glass. The glass was very sharp and caused minor cuts on hands while trying to get out of the vehicle. The car needed to be towed because the glass was everywhere and we feared destroying the seats by getting back in the vehicle. The dealership claimed that it was not a warranty issue and we are working with our insurance company. We feel it is an obvious vehicle defect. Mrs dershem, vehicle was being driven at the time of the incident. After pulling into parking lot, while inside vehicle, sunroof glass shattered. Pco*.

Failure Date: 06/17/2005

Large sunroof on my 2005 Cadillac Srx inexplicitly shattered and caved into vehicle while travelling in light traffic. There is no evidence of foreign object causing this, nor was there the sound of impact you would expect necessary to take out a large piece of glass like this. Can't get gm to consider that this may be an equipment failure. Fortunately, the sunshade was closed or glass would have fallen on occupants gm isn't forthcoming with information about this unique roof or even who manufactures it. This is a $3,500 repair that gm won't cover or provide details of other potential incidents. Ie05-052. Pco pe05-052.
